I'm really struggling with the 15 yods in the Moon card. Why 15? I reviewed all of the threads here and other websites that discussed the symbolism used, but couldn't find any information that seemed definitive. The yod is the symbol for the Hermit card, so that link seems fairly obvious. Also, if the yod is a symbol for sperm, the 15 yods link very well to the Devil. And I suppose yods/sperm falling out of Yesod toward earth make a good deal of sense in terms of final materialization. Note that in the Thoth deck there are only 9 yods, clearly establishing the resonance with the Hermit card. Hence my puzzlement over the 15 in the RWS version.
